I never thought about the symbolism as Moses took the blood from the sacrifices of the tribes of Israel. He poured half the blood on the altar (symbolic of putting it on God) and the other half he sprinkled upon the people of Israel this they were equally linked with God through the blood of the sacrifices sealing the covenant between God and His people.
It is easy so stop at “that’s gross” and fail to say the symbolism.
